Two of the league's top teams clash in this one and I like the Bruins for the upset. Washington is 22-10 but just 8-7 at home. Boston is right behind the Capitals at 20-11, but their road record is very good at 8-5. The Bruins lead the league in scoring differential, outscoring opponents by a goal per game while the Capitals are not quite as good (0.8 goals). Dating back to last season, the Bruins are a stellar 18-12 as an underdog. Boston owns the better defense and they now have Patrice Bergeron back after missing 11 games. Take the road dog in this one.
